Read the following paragraph from the text...
Foreign trade has been an issue for philosophers and wise men for a long time. Are the problems and corruption that come with foreign trade worth the wealth? We have reason to believe our States are eager for this trade. It is our responsibility to decide how to control this trade. We must come up with a good set of trade rules. This job cannot be done by 13 different states. The need for a central power is obvious. Why this power is avoided is beyond my understanding.
Based on the paragraph, what is George Washington's point of view (remember that also means perspective) about trade in the United States? (THINK-How does Washington feel about trade in the US?)

Read the following paragraph from the text...
"We joined together as a nation. But we did not give our rulers enough power to direct that nation. We should not be afraid to have national leaders with real powers. After all, it is we who would pick the leaders. They serve for only a limited time. These leaders can be recalled at any moment. Because of our fear of strong national leadership, we are failing to meet our promise. The world once expected much of us. Today, it is astonished by our failures. From the high ground we once stood, we are now slipping into darkness."
